Makki Ki Roti Recipe – Tried And Tested [Video]

Makki Ki Roti and Sarson Ka Saag are the best known combination in North Indian Punjabi food. Come winters and we welcome it both hands. It is a traditional punjabi food and finds its roots deep in the authentic village cuisine.

Makki ki roti is best enjoyed with Jaggery (Gud) and White butter. Loads of butter and Gud taste really well with Sarson Ka Saag.

Method

Add small portions of warm water as required to make the dough. Mix the flour well with hand. Do not add all water in one go. The dough need to be smooth. It would take approximately 4-5 minutes to knead the dough.

Once dough is ready, cover it with a bowl and keep aside for 5 min. This helps in softening of dough and make soft and crisp Chapatis.

To make chapatis, take a pan and heat it.

Let us start rolling the chapati for cooking on pan. Apply a small amount of water on your palm and roll the dough.

Take a small portion from the dough. Apply few pinches of dry Maize flour on the chapati rolling pad.

Now roll the dough portion with your hand slowly to give it a round shape like a chapati. Do not use rolling pin to roll the chapati as Maize flour dough is too soft and it will torn itself apart.

Chapati is ready. Pick it up carefully and place on hot pan for cooking.

Cook it on medium flame as high flame might burn the chapati.

Cook from one side and then flip.

In about 2 minute, both sides will be cooked. Now apply oil (ghee) on one side.
